My wedding-ring lies in a basket as if at the bottom of a well. Nothing will come to fish it back up and onto my finger again. &nb sp; &nbs p; It lies among keys to abandoned houses, nails waiting to be needed and hammered into some wall, telephone numbers with no names attached, idle paperclips. &nb sp; It can't be given away for fear of bringing ill-luck. &nb sp; It can't be sold for the marriage was good in its own time, though that time is gone. &nb sp; Could some artificer beat into it bright stones, transform it into a dazzling circlet no one could take for solemn betrothal or to make promises living will not let them keep? Change it into a simple gift I could give in friendship?
